      Brief Rules fob the Government op all whs writs fob this paper : — 1 . Write legibly . Make as few erasures and interlineations u possible . In writing names oipersons and places be more particular than t ^ u&I to make every leiier distinct and clear—also in using words not English . j . Write ordy on one side of the paper . 3 . . Employ no abbreriationa whatever , but write ont every word in full . 4 . Address all communications intended for publica tion to the " Editor" ; all other communicationssuch as orders , remittances of money , &c—to the Publisher , " lit . J . Hobson ; all remittances of money to any of the public funds for which books

      are kept here , to Mr . ArdilL Much unnecessary trouble often arises to us from a want of precision in attending to these things . Never mix up these different matters in the same sheet Always prefer to send an enclosure , or even a separate letter . Much confusion often occurs , and many articles of news get overlooked , because of their being written on the same sheet as contains the order of an Agent , which goes into the Publishing Office , and is liable , in the hurry of the business , to be forgotten instead of being sent up to the Editor . So & £ &in orders hafe been Bometimes neglected , because of their being written on the back of news paragraphs , which being sent to the Editor

      bare been by him " put in sand , " without remembering to transcribe the order . AH these accidents wiilbeprerented , if persons who send here will send their communications severally to the right quarter , and not " muddle" them together . 5 . When you Bit down to write , dont be in a hurry , Consider that hurried writing makes slow printing . t . Remember that we go to press on Thursday ; that one side of the paper goes to press on Wednesday ; that we are obliged to go on filling up the paper the whole week , and that , therefore , -when a load of matter comes by tie last one or two posts , it unavoidably happens that much of it is omitted ; and that it is therefore necessary to be prompt in your communications .

      All matters of news , reports of meetings , &c , &c referring to occurrences on Friday , Saturday , or Sunday , should reach us by Monday ' s post ; sach as refer to Monday ' s occurrences by Tuesday evening ' * post ; Wednesday ' s occurrences by Thursday ' s post ; and Thursday ' s news by Friday morning ' s post , far second edition . Any deviation from this order of supply will necessirily subjtct the matters so received to the almost certainty of rejec tion or serisas curtailment , and f « take tzohlamefor ii . All personal correspondence , poetry , literary communications , and articles of comment to be here by Tuesday , or their chance of insertion for that week will be very small indeed ; if not heie by Wednesday we dont hold ourselves Wound even to

      notice ihem . 1 . Finally , remember that we hare only forty-eight columns weekly for all England , Scotland , Wales , and Ireland ; that we haTe no interest in preferring one town or plaeo to another , because ours is not a local but a national paper ; that we are bound , therefore , in dealing with the masses of matter whici come to us , to hold the scales of Justice evenly—our first ebject being the promotion and enhancement , according to our otcn best judffTneni , &f the success of the great and good cause ; and our second , the distribution of our time and space so as to give least cause of complaint ; that we are alike bound to this course of action > y inp . lina . HnTi , interest , and duty ; and that ,

      therefore , it is useless and senseless for individuals to fume and fret , and think themselves ill used because their communications may not always be inserted , or for societies to trouble their heads and ¦ waste their time in passing votes of censure upon us for devoting too much space to this , or too little to that , or for inserting this thing which they think should have been omitted , or for omitting the other ttirg which they th ' should have appeared . All these are matters for our consideration , and for the exercise of our discretion and judgment , ¦ which , we assure all parties , shall be always used , so far as we are able to perceive , honestly for the public , without fear or favour to any one ., and with ont being allowed to be turned for one instant from its course by ill-natured snarls or bickerings .

      Moxrr Orders to this Office . —Oar Cashier is frequently made to endure an amount of inconvenience , utterly inconceivable by those who have not multifarious transactions like his to attend to , by the negligence of parties not attending to the j >! ain instructions so often given , to make all money orders sent here payable to Mr . Johx ABJ 3 IIL Some ordfeM are made payable to Mr . O'Connor—Eome to Mr . Hobson—some to Mr . Hill—some to Star-of £ . ce : all these require the signature of the person in whose favour they are drawn before the monev can be obtained . This causes an attendance

      at tb . B post-office of , sometimes , several houis , when a few minutes might suffice if all were rightly gjT £ E nOfc to mention the most vexatious delays of payment sometimes caused by it . Several old Agents who certainly ought to know better—have often thus needlessly incovenienced us ; we therefore beg that all parties having money to send to the Star-office for Papers , by order , will mate their orders payable to Mr . Johx Ardill . If they neglect this , we shall not hold ourselves bound to attend to them : if , therefore , they find their neglect to produce inconvenience to themselves let them not blame us .

The defendant disputed the distance , and denied that the man had bad to wait of him at all ; he offered him 5 s . at the time , and tee man refused either to take ii or go away . The magistrates said that there cou 3 d be no claim for waiting , nor had they the power to order pajment of the bar ; the man had done quite wrong in not taking the 3 s . offered at the time , which they considered was his full faro , and therefore ibf y .-hould not ailuw the costs , but order Captain Pala ^ r to pay 3 s . , and recommended Lim to aid

      Leeds Post Office . —We are happy to announce that on Monday last . Mr . Anderson , who for a large number of years has filled the office of chief clerk in the establishment , received from the Lords of the Treasury the appointment of po 3 t-master , vacant by the death of Mrs . Temple . The appointment could not have been more de 3 ervingly conferred ; and it must be gratifying to Mr . Andersotf to have received the spontaneous recommendation of gentlemen of all parties , who have thus borne testimony to his worth . Mr . Anderson ' s credentials received the signature of Wm . Beckett , Esq ., M . P ., the Hon . John Stuart "Wortley , M . P ., and those of nearly every firm in the boi-ouch .

      SKfiiors RoBBKfiY . —On Sunday night last , about seven o ' clock , three well-dressed strangers in fashionable ta-glionis , went into the bar at Mr . Walker ' s , the Junction Inn , New Road End , Leeds , and called for a glass of spirits each , which they would drink neat . Mrs . Walker was in the bar alone , and the three men arranged themselves , and stood bo as to prevent her seeing into the passage which led to the staircase . They talked very loud , principally about horse-dealing , and after their departure it was discovered that a confederate had , while this was going on in the bar , been busy in Mr . Walker ' s bed-room ,

      in which a desk had been forced open by cutting the lock out , and from whence £ 30 in 6 ilver , two silver watches , and one gold watch had been Btolen . The desk contains a nest of drawers , all of which bad been examined excepr two , and in one of these was deposited a sum of £ 60 in notes , and ten sovereigns , which the rascal bad very fortunately overlooked . There were also several articlesof silver plate , spoons , &c , m the desk , which though they had been disturbed , were left behind . We are sorry to hear that , as yet , bo trace of the party has been since discovered .

      Chat-ge of Stealing Coals . —On "Monday last , three lads of the genus "bone grubbers , " woto brought before Ralph Markland , and Wm . Smith , Esq-s ., at the Court House , on a charge of hwing , on Saturday last , and at various other times , filled their capacious and very convenient sacks fro ^ n the coal waggons of the Old Staith Company . Tne prisoners had the disadvantage of being well-known to the officers . They * were observed on Saturday , by . a person employed at the coal staith , riding on the buffers of the last waggon in a train proceeding from the pits ; he went to them , and they then dropped the- coal they had taken and made off ; they were apprehended in the course of the evening , and it was shown that a regular trade was carried on by the prisoners , who , after having stolen as many coals as filled a sack , were in the habit of disposing of them at a" cheap rate in Meadow-lane and the neighbourhood They w ? re sent to the House of Correction for a a month each as vagrants .

      Sheep Stolen . —Daring the night of Saturday last , a ewe sheep , marked " S , " was stolen from a field near Kirkstall Abboy ; the sheep was the property of Messrs . Beecroft , Butler , and Co ., of Kirkstall Forge , by whom a reward of £ 5 has been offered ¦ for such information as may load to the conviction of the thieves . Stf-alisg Watches . —On Monday last , a lad named- William Hall , was brought before the magistrates at the Court House , on a charge of having stolen two silver watshes , the property of his brother-in-law , James Ward Rider , a stuff singer , residing in High-street . The poor lad bears evident traces of being not exactly sane , and it would

      appear that at the death of his parents , there were four cottages left , to be divided between himself and three sisters , and that by some means , Rider , who had married one sister , had got ha ' . f-a-crown a-week settled upon Hall , in lieu of his Bhare of the property . He had lived for some time with Rider , bat latterly declared he had had no home , and had slept oi : ly in out-houses , or where he could . He contended that the watches were hi 3 own , and there seems some reasons to suppose that one of them at ltast is so . The magistrates not being able satisfactorily to settle the dispnte between the parties , left the case to the decision of a jury .

      Agg ravated Assault . —On Tuesday last , Wm . Cl&Tke , residing in Upper Cross-street , was brought before the magistrates at the Court House , by warrant , charging him with having committed an aggravated assault upon his wife . The poor woman bore evident marks of the punishment she had received , and the only excuse the brute had , was that "he had taken a little too much beer . " It appeared that they had been separated before owing to his violent conduct , but had got to live together again . The magistrates decided that he was to allow his wife 7 s . per week , to pay ihe expenses incurred , and to enter into recognisances himself in £ 20 , and two sureties in £ 10 each , to keep the peace towards her for twelve months .

      Caution to Ix > -keefees . —A lady-like woman , abent fifty years of age , has been , for some time living at the expence of the innkeepers of Leeds and the neighbourhood , by quartering herself upon for sometime , and forgetting to pay her bills before her departure . Most of the hotels in Leeds , and all the respectable ones in the villages round , have been honoured by her patronage . She is described as wearing a buff morning dress with a small bine sprig , and a straw bonnet ; is very plain , and carries no lnggage . When at the Star and G 3 rter , Kirkstall , she referred to the Rev . Jas . Jackson , Green-HammertoD , and said she expected a remittance from a Mr . Meek .

      Oddfellowship . —On Saturday last , the members of the Loyal Charity Lodge , No . 15 , of the Leeds Independent Order , held their annual festival , at the house of Mr . John Farrar , Crown Inn , Stanningley , when upwards of one hundred sat down to an excellent dinner , furnished in then usual good style , by Mr . and Mrs . Farrer , which reflected great credit oa them . After the cloth was drawn , Mr . John Higgias , was called to the chair , and Mr . J . Hinsliff , acted as vice . The lodge being dul y opened , and the business gone through , the remainder of the evening was spent in a very friendly and harmonious

      manner . ? TEiLi > G Beef . —On Monday last , a man who said he came from Huddertfield , and professed to be an entire stranger in Leeds , was brought before the magistrates at the Court House , on a charge of having stolen a pier , ? of beef , on Saturday night , from the shop of Mr . FJowitf , butcher , Shambles . He was observed by two lads to walk off with the beet and on being followed threw it away . He was tikea into custody , and on the charge being preferred , attributed the affair to an accident , caused by his having had too much beer . Some of the officers in court , however , notwithstanding his protestations to the contrary , told the magistrates more about him than he seemed to like to have known , and he was commi ; ttd to Waktfield House of Correction for two months .

      CHaUUSSTOwN . —Hunt ' s Birthday . —On Saturday evening a large number of the admirer 3 of the person and principles of the immmortal Henry Hunt , met at the house of Mr . J . Clayton , Charlesiown , npaT AshVon-under-Lyne , to celebrate his fairtii . ' The room was taatetnlly decorated with evergreens , and ornamentally hung round with the political portraits of all the good men who have shone conspicuously before the public , at the head of which was a large painting of the immortal Hunt , and at the bottom end was a splendid painting of the field of Peterloo . After doing ample justice to all the goad things of this world and the cloih withdrawn , Mr . John Mills was called to preside . A long list of appropriate toasts aud sentiments was given acd responded to , and the evening waa spent jn the ieos ; harmonious manner .

      TO JAMES BRONTERRE O'BRIEN . 180 , Holbori ) , Nor . 8 th , 1842 . Sm , —I presume you , even you , from whom I have received so much political information , will nf uJi ^ a mucn « th&t I have never thrown the apple of discord amouBt the Chartist body . I have always endeavoured to avoid janglin / j amongst ourselves , because I knew very well the common enemy b ulbbleJ 8 aeeTa&t 41 our internal and external Sir , I am led to mako these preliminary observations before I proceed to refute your impotent letter in the Statesman of the 9 th inst . I had imagined at one time you were the most consistent , the moat talented , the moat patriotic , and the most persecuted man in the country . 'Twould be a waste of time on my part to talk of your consistency or of your patriotism ; the country now ind ™ and

      , so will posterity judge of both . No man will deny you possess talents in a superior degree ; the only regret is , that you should so prostitute them as to render them either useless or injurious . As for your persecution and prosecution , you mast not imagine that you could escape unscathed from such on tho part of the Government ; as to persecution from other quarters , I am inclined to believe you brought much of it on your own head . You will , no doubt , call this letter of mine an attempt to assassinate you politically ; but there are too many living witnesses to prove that my aim has ever been to assist von in everv nn aa ; hln

      way I could , so long as you would permit me . But to the more immediate contents of your letter . Aa uaual you exhibit your Owa disappointed ambition , by attacking F . O'Connor . Your eternal talk of perfidious demagogues only proves that your regret is , that you are not the demagogue . As usual O Connor is fathered with an extraordinary docu ment ; that is just as correct as that he drew ap the National Petition ; bat a bad man must always resort , a 3 you have done , either to surmise falsehoods

      or else to invent and fabricate the moat palpable lies . However , as I am neither O'Connor ' s tool , as you insinuate , nor am i his apologist for what you may , in your wisdom , consider criminal in him , any more than I am yours 31 leave you in his hands , satisfied as I am that he will deal with you far beyond your satisfaction . I come now pore immediately to that part of your letter that refers to myself , and I can assure you that I will not " set ought down in malice . " The following aro your own words : —

      " No association will ever make progress that either is , or is supposed to be , under the influenee of such men . No Associatioa will ever flourish , or ripen into national importance , which has for its supposed chiefa or leadera men who will not openly avow their own acts , and stand by the consequences of their own public documents . No association will ever become the Aaron's rod that is to a wallow up all the rest , unless its office-bearers are men who will devote themselves honestly to the interests of their constituents , instead of trying to make their own fortunes by pandering for the patronage of demagogues , and London publishers , at the expence of truth and honour . No association will ever command the respect of the millions , whose office-bearers are meu that will run away from the

      cona . qaenoea of their own deliberate acts ; or who will publicly natter and cry up , as patriots of the first order , p « rfl 4 ioua demagogues , of whose treason to the people they privately talk of having in their possession written proofs and documentary evidence . No Chartist association will ever flourish in England , one of whose principal officers ia a man who can discover tho Weekly DifpcUch , and Cleaie ' s Circular , to be par excellence entitled to the gratitude of the Chartist body , while he would have that body look with distrust and enmity on this , the only paper in the empire that is at this moment honourably defending their interest against oil their enemies , open and secret ; but , above all , from the traitors and jobbing rascals in our own camp , who Me

      making merchandise of them for their own' base ends . The National Charter Association—National , forsooth !!! It never will be a National Association until it either ejects from its bosom , or redaces to their proper dimensions , the perfidious demagogues , poltroons , and jobbers tb&tare fattening on the pence ol the honest members , and bringing disgrace on the whole Chartist body by their charlatanism , their blundering incapacity , their egotistical puffing ( of themselves and of others ; , and their conspiracies to enshkr every man that will not be a patty to their dirty , mercenary , treacherous sacrificing of the people to their own cupidity , ambition , and co-watdice . " James Bh . onteb . re O'Bhien .

      P . S . —Some of these fellowa threaten to put down the Statesman . Wo shall aee . It is possible enough they may put it down ; but we tell tkemfor their comfort , we would see five hundred Stutemans go down sooner than be a party to their vlllanous practices . " Now , sir , I will put it to any man who is a lover of fair-play , whether such an ungentlemanly attaok as that outfit to be made on me i Aye , on me , who has stood by you , who assisted yon , who did all that a poor man could do to forward ycur interests . This 1 should never have mentioned but that your cenduot is such that I am forced to do it in defence of my own character . I had foolishly imagined you had poured the last drop of the vial of your vindictiveness on me by your famous " Old

      Chartist" letter , when you put the Government on the scent to arrest Mr . M'Douall , whom you have branded as a traitor , and Leach , of whom you have said he wonld politically assassinate you ; of myself , against whom you have written tho foregoing tirade . It is magnanimity in tho extreme of you to attack the Doctor who is not at hand to defend himself ; but by the God that made mo , I will neither allow you or any other man to attack such a man as M'Douall with impunity . If there is one patriot more than another that ought to livo for ever in the people ' s memory , it is M'Douall . What has ho uot done for the cause ? What sacrifices has he not made ? His all is gone for the people ! You talk of theincon eistenoy of a principal officer of tho National Charter

      Association , speaking well of the Dispatch and Chartist Circular . Now , you did not mention my name—why did you not ! were you afraid 1 It was the aot of a coward who raised his arm , but had uot courage to strike the blow . You , forsooth , eschew denunciation ' , why , v » hat else have you done since the meeting of the last Conventien but denounce , until this denunciation— " has sunk you below the depth of your deep , in a deeper gulf still- " You say I am making a fortune by pandering to London publishers ; that , Sir , you know to be a deliberate falsehood . You know I was too independent to pander to you by believing you to be the " 1 am" of the movement ; and , if so with you , why not with others as well ?

      Now for the very great crime of speaking of the Dispatch . What is the actual fact ? Why , that I simply thanked its Editor for exposing the intolerance of Lord Abmger . I thanked him simply for that ; I am not sorry that I did so ; but tho crime of recommending the Chartist Circular , how horrible ! Now , I ask you were you in your wits when yeu sneered a t the Chartist Circular ! Yea , I have recommended the Chartist Circular ; I am proud I did so ; I do so now , and will continue to do so until it deviates from the advocacy of Chartism . You say I am making a fortune out of the pence of the people ; I feuppo « 8 you allude to my wages . Let roe for a moment or two glance at this worse than Abinger insinuation . I was elected to the Executive three times

      and appointed secretary . I have faithfully served tho association since . I have done a man ' s part in propagating democracy . I have never lent myself to faotion , and I never will . During the time I lived in Manchester after my appointment to the secretaryship , hundreds of our party can witness that my hand was never closed , nor my door shut against tho needy before my arrest . In my shop I relieved thirty-six fugitives out of my own pocket in the conrseoF three weeks j some of those are now in prison , some out . Your sneer at my making a fortune is too lame and contemptible to make any impression on the public ! Contrast my conduct to you in 1839 40-1-2 with your conduct to me at the present . When you were under the talons of the

      government in 1839 I . sympathized , with you , and . when you were sentenced to imprisonment 1 did all I could " to rais . ; funds for yuur family hi Manchester and Salfovd ; every pla . o I went to , or meeting I attended . I encouraged them to support you and your family . 1 did my best to raise funds for your ptess , and wrote to many friends in your behalf . 1 helped to get you overflowing meetings in Manchester , after your release from Lancaster ; what more could a poor man do ? What do you do in . ' the last throes of the Statesman ? You know that I have a family , and that to enable that family to obtain an honourable living when I may be in prison , or dead , I have opened ' a book and news shop in Holboin ; you use all tho strength the consumptive creature

      has left to spit jour venom on a man who has so eminently served you , and thus deprivo him and his family of even a maintenance when I may be in gaol ; but your trick will not succeed . I ask you , sir , will it not be more honourable that my family can obtain an honest and honourable living in business when I may be incarcerated , than they should be a burden on the Chartist Association I 1 will not pursue the subject any further , but in conclusion I assure you , you may rail at me until you are weary ; and I regret exceedingly that the man whom I once esteemed , I can only now hold him in the most thorough contempt , satisfied , aa I am , in the rectitude of my conduct . I remain , Sir ,

      A lovex of liberty , and a hater of discord , J . Campbell . P . S . Nothing shall induce me to say another word on this subject . . _ . . _ ^ _ _ . ' . _ ' ¦ i 0 01

At the time of commencing , two o ' clock , the large toom of the Oddfellow ' s Hall was filled to suffocation , and hundreds had to go away who could not gain admission . Mr . Hill ' s manner of delivery had a great effect upon bis bearers . In the evening the room was again crowded to excess ; the room is very lofty and yet notwithstanding such was the state of the place that a many had to leave on account of the heat , and numbers had to go away without gaining admittance at all .

M'Cartney , in a long and able address , refuted the arguments put forth by the lecturer for a repeal of the Corn Laws without a previous extension of the suffrage .

      book . Mr . M'Cartney also detailed the Six Points of the People ' s Charter , which being carried , the people themselves would then return to the Houso of Commons such men as would carry out to their fullest extent the benefits of free trade . Mr . Fitzgerald replied to Mr . M-Cartney , and admitted that his political theory Was excellent , but denied that it was practicable . The meeting broke up at half-past eleven o ' clock , highly gratified at the able and vigorous manner in which the causa of democracy had been maintained by Mr . M'Cartney .

Thompson was in his 43 rd year , and was universally beloved by all who had the happiness of his acquaintance . His death is a serious blank in his large family , and it will be long remembered and regretted by a numerous body of sincere friend ? , who accompanied his remains to the grave . The funeral , which took place on Sabbath last , was . conducted under the auspices of the members of the Tent in which the deceased was a very worthy and highly useful officer ; and which was numerously attended by a great number of

      RechabiteB from various Tents in thiB locality , who added considerably to the respectability of the procession .

In politics he was a confiistent and straightforward Chartist , and a strenuous advocate for the rights and liberties of the labouring massss . He w& 3 a determined enemy to hypocrisy and tyranny ; and whether these vices were found to exist either is the Church or in the Slate , he opposed them to the utmost of liifl abilities , and often at &reat personal inconvenience . He was a man oi regular , feteady , humble habits ; and , although bora to no inheritance , he has left behind him a name which corruption cannot obtain by purchase , and which kings , priests , and Parasites would be prone of , bu never will nor can inherit—an . honest man I Chat titta of Alloa , visit his clay-clad dwelling in Clackmannan church yard ; and , as " an tamest man is the noblest work of God , " drop a tear to the memory of departed worth .

      Richmosd . —At the meeting of the Council of the Borough of Richmond , on the Srh inst ., Henry Conke , Esq ., was elected Mayor for the year enswng . Severe Sentences . —In the Kendal Mercury wo nnd tne following observation ? : — " There has during the past week been much comment upon what has been very generally considered the severity of the sentences passed by the magistrates npon the prisoners tried at the Kendal semonB on Saturday last . Out of eight convictions , four persons were condemned to transportation , for an aggregate period of 36 years . Two of these cases were of the most petty and peddling description , thoseof Mary Kirkpatrickand T . Leak . Both offenders were stated bv the bench to

      have bad characters ; but what was the extent of their respective crimes 1 The © ae , ii appears , had stolen a silk handkerchief from the person of a paramour , who flad takt : n her to a public-house for the vilest purposes , and the other had purloined t' . ree pieces of brass , worth perhaps 5 s . from Dockryhall Mills . Looking at the circumstances , it would seem that not the offences , bat the character of the convicts , was punished , a course which we cannot but conceive dangerous in itself , aud highly derogatory to justice . If the principle of punishing according to character , instead of crime , were to be admitted , who that had given offence to a

      magistrate coutd hope , m case of a trumpery accusation being maintained against him , to escape being sent out of the country V But this severity is not all . "' There is , " says the writer , " another fact connected with one of the cases referred to—that of Leak—which has not escaped observation . The prosecutors were the Messrs . Gandy , one of whom ( James ) qualified and look the oaths as a county magistrate so recently as the day before the trial . This gentleman uot only appeared to press the charge against the prisoner , but sat upon the bench in his capacity of justice , and retired with tbe other magistrates to deliberate upon the sentences which should be passed .

      Prison Manufactures . —Considerable dissatisfaotiau is felt from the fact that hosiery , manufactured by prisoners in Jedburgh Castle , is sold in Glasgow at a price far below the ordinary value , and has a most injurious effect upon goods of that description , made under ordinary circumstance ? , by men who have not enjoyed the privilege of being couvioted of crime . — Gateshead Observer . Glasgow . —Extraordinary Discovery and Remarkable Case of Fraud . —Considerable sensation has been created in town during the last few days , in consequence of the discovery of a piece of villany and fraud , which we rejoice to say , is but of rare occurrence in a commercial city . Our readers will recollect that , between three and four years ago , one

      of the tellers of a bank in town , on balancing up iho transactions of the day , found himself minus a sum of one thousand pounds . The occurrence at tho time gavo rise to a good deal of speculation , as it was evident to the parties who were acquainted with tho teller , and from the good character he possessed that he must have giv « n the money in mistake to some one when making payments in the course of business . No one , in fact , had the most distant thought that he was guilty of making away with it . The question then was , who had got the money ; and notwithstanding that every means wtre used , no trace could be had , and after a time the search was abandoned as hopeless . The sum missing to the bank and the matter may ba said

      consequence was , tnat the burettes had to pay up the to have been forgotten till about the muddle Of last week , when , as we are informed , two idividuals who formerly carried on business togctheriu Giafgow , but who are at present bankrupts , having been drinking with some friends had a dispute , which becoming violent , both parties retorted on each oiher in the mest abusive manntr , and latterly it came out that they , or one of them , in course of business with the bank referred to , had by a mistake on tho part-of the teller , got upwards of oue thousand pounds more than belonged to them , that , in fact , they had got the sum which the teller found himself defici nt of . This occurrence was instantly communicated to the bank , and immediate steps were taken to apprehend the parties referred to . One of them waa secured on the following day , but tho other has

      siBce left the town . It is thought , however , from the clue that has been go : of his movements , ihat he is by this time in the custody ot one of our most active criminal officers , who has been despatched in pursuit of him . At present , and for obvious reasons , we decline giving names , and tbe additional particulars with which we have been furnished . The parties 6 aid to ba guilty were well known in the business which they followed , and in the community generally . The Eubjeot baa excited the most lively interest in commercial circles , verifying , as it is likely to do , the old English adage . " when rogues cast out , honest men get their own . " We heartily congratulate | the voung man connected with the bank and his friends npon the discovery , even though not one farthing of the money should ever be recovered , —Glasgow Chronicle .

      TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION AT A GRINDING WHEEL , BY A BARREL OF GUNPOWDER . ( From the Sheffield Iris of this day , Nov . \ 2 lhJ About two o ' clock on Monday morning , the inhabitants of Abbey Dale , near Sheffield , wore suddenly awoke by a loud noise and violent shock , sufficiently strong to shake the houses adjoining Mr . Dyson ' s grinding wheelt tho building containing which was shortly discovered to have been literally blown up with gunpowder . One of tho workmen , named William Pierce , lives ia a cottage , only separated from the grinding wheel by a workshop , and a doorway standing at right angles to it , and to the building which was blown up . Mr . Dyson is a scythe manufacturer , carrying on an extensive business at Abbey Dale , and residing

      about 300 yards from the premises before mentioned . Upon Price , the foreman , hearing the noise , he and his wife immediately jumped out of bed , and fetched Mr . Dyeon to see what was the matter ; and upon examining the grinding wheel , it presented a scene that is rarely witnessed in a country not at war . The building is about eighteen yards in length , by eight or nine in width , with gable ends , and the roof , which was covered with stone Elating , being supported by four stroni * beams . The whole of the walls were built of Bolid stone , aud tho window casements were made of iron , glazed with small panes of glass . Along the south side of tho building runs a lo ; g bench , called the buffing bench , about four feet wide , and the same

      height from the ground , and under this bench , about seven yards from the West End of the place , were discovered the remnants of an exploded barrel of gunpowder , Thi 3 position seems to have been chosen by tbe incendiaries on account of its close proximity to the great wheel , which is turned by a water-fall , and which wheel puts into motion all the machinery used in carrying on the business . Immediaiely above the spot , on the outside of the wall , were the turning and boring chamber , and the joiner ' s chamber—and , therefore , the spot selected was one , from which an explosion would be fully felt in each of the three departments of the premises , and fully indeed it was felt . The door had evidently been forced open with a crow-bar .

      The whole of the stone elating on the roof was completely blown to atoms—each of the gable ends of the building blown outwards from top to bottom—and the stones composing tho west wall lying in almost the same regular order , aa when first laid by the builder . Part of the skylight was blown about twenty yards off into the Abbey Dale dam , a fine piece of water contiguous to the building . That part of the buffing bench under which the- explosion took place , was , of course , ncn est inventus . The six windows on the north side of the building were so shattered that not a single pane of gla 38 was to be found in any one of them . The wall which separated the great room from the two chambers before named , was very much shaken , and

      bulged towards the great wascr wheel with a threatening aspect . The floors , rouf , and windows of the turners chamber , and joiner ' s chamber , shared ihe same fate as - chose of the large room in which the suupowder wa 3 placed—many portions of the roof aud window castments being picked up at distances from fifty to one hundred yards off , The object of the explosion was to destroy most effectually tha grin ding-wheel aud its attendant machinery , with anything else that might happen to be within reach of the explosion . In the cottage occupied by Price , the forgeman , the cupboard was shaken , aud a pane of , glass out oi one of the windows . Part of ihe iron casement was picked up about thirty yards from tho buildiiig .

      Mr . Dyson , it seems , had not insured the premises , nor have we yet heard the amount at which the damage is estimated ; although it will probably not exceed £ 400 or £ 500 . Amongst the grinders there exists a union , aud if any master empioy men who are not members of this union , a decree is forthwith issued that such master " is to be served out , " i . e . he is to have either his dwelling-house , or place of business , blown up with gunpowder , or some other matter of a combustible nature . Ia this case , Mr . Dyson had two * men ia his service who , though industrious and efficient workmen , did not

      belong to the union , and therefore Mr . Dyson came under the displeasure of the men who compose the committee appointed by tbi 3 union . From some circumstances which have not yet transpired before the public , three men were apprehended on Monday and Tuesday , viz William Thorpe , George Thorpe , and Thomas Richardson . They were takf n before the Bitting magistrates , Mr . Overend and Mi . Bagshawe , on Tuesday , at the Town Hali , and were remanded uutvl Friday ( yeBterdaj ) , on the application of Paltreyman , solicitor for the prosecution . Mr . Broomhcad defended the prisoners , who were advised to hold their peace .

      The explosion has caused an immense sensation in tbe n ' . 'ii ; hbourhood ; and it is even Btatedon good authority that lUOibs . of gunpowder were fired at once , to effect the diabolical oHect of wbioh we hare given a description .
